KH>> I plan on getting a 250meg hdd for $120-145 brand new.. soon :)..

LE> Considering a 1Gb drive is now only about $400, if "soon"
isn't "this 
LE> evening", wait just a little longer, save, and buy something bigger.

KH> A 1Gig hard drive on a 386DX16.. not on your nelly I will :).. that's like 
KH> kicking yourself :).. the speed of the drive would be REALLY slow :)..

I already told you this.  It's rubbish.  The drive will most
likely be faster than the one you have at the moment, and
it's speed is unrelated to your CPU.

KH> Anyway, I am planning on getting a new computer anyway, so I don't really 
KH> need anything really large, because I'll be buying the poota with something 
KH> large in it :)

You can by the computer without a hard disk if you go to a
decent Yum Cha shop.  BFN.  Paul.
